“Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?

When people criticize Lenten fish fries for promoting feasting during a penitential season, everyone understands they’re expressing an opinion, not a law and not accusing people of sin.

But when you critique frequent communion for possibly promoting a disordered, habitual, routine relationship with the sacrament, people can’t grasp that you’re obviously not telling people they can’t receive daily or weekly.

Traditionalists often highlight the most absurd abuses in the Novus Ordo, but since nearly all of them are stridently committed to universal frequent communion and the reforms necessary for it, their claim of being against sacrilege rings hollow. They just don’t want to see it.

The trad movement loves externals to its own downfall.
-Glaze sedevacantists for their appearances, ignore that schism is a graver sin than irreverence
-Insult the Fathers by pretending the heretics and crises they dealt with (Donatists, Arians, etc) weren’t that bad

Bad people wear clothes, therefore you must go to Mass naked.
I'll never understand people who dress in suit and tie for Mass as if it had to do anything with piety, like "yeah, you like to dress like the anticlerical bourgeois class who secularized the whole western world and you call that piety?"

Killing his son was already as bad as it gets, but the absolutely delusional lengths he’s gone to in order to rationalize it (the new argument: “you eat bacon, I kill baby”) is somehow even more unnerving. Pray for him.

How many animals have you eaten this past week? Slaughtered just for you. Are you a second-hand murderer as well?
Wouldn’t you agree that a cow or pig crying and screaming as its throat is slit has significantly more consciousness than an 18-week old fetus?
“But it’s different because we EAT them and they’re not human…We’re made in God’s image.” - will this be some version of the response thou Holy one?

“For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.
“Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

“Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.”

He was refuted on this when he posted it last year, too. Here’s what Dei Verbum (not a secondary source) actually says:
“She has always maintained them, and continues to do so, 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, as the supreme rule of faith…”
A lesser-known Vatican II HERESY is the denial of Tradition as a distinct source of Revelation. This was done to please Protestants and is a perfect example of heresy by omission. Let’s look at the history of how this was changed. 🧵👇

“…Consequently 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 that the Church draws her certainty about everything which has been revealed. Therefore both sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated…”

“…with the same sense of loyalty and reverence.”
These last two sentences utterly exclude Sola Scriptura. A priest who studied theology and apparently came to the conclusion that Vatican II contains heresies should know that.

“For Sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the divine Spirit, while sacred tradition takes the word of God entrusted by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit to the Apostles…”

“…and hands it on to their successors in its full purity, so that led by the light of the Spirit of truth, they may in proclaiming it preserve this word of God faithfully, explain it, and make it more widely known.“

We don’t worship the sun, we worship with the sun. The entire created universe is for the glory of God. It is precisely because of this truth that idolatrous religions arise.
“Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.” Psalm 148:3

🛑 Ad Orientem is sun worship
📖 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.” So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun. Ezekiel 8:15-16
⚠️ Many Catholic churches are built facing East (ad orientem), so the congregation faces the rising sun as a symbol of Christ’s Second Coming.🤨 This architecture is a profound expression of eschatology (the theology of the end times). The physical orientation of the building matches the spiritual posture of the congregation.
🤨 The Rising Sun: The sun rising in the east represents the resurrection and the promised return of the sun god.
🤨 The New Eden: Scriptural traditions associate the East with paradise and the location of the Garden of Eden.
🤨 The Apse: The sanctuary and the altar are situated at the eastern end of the church structure.
🤨 The Liturgical East: Even when geographic constraints prevent physical eastward orientation, the altar wall is treated as "liturgical east."
🤨 Common Direction: The priest and the congregation face the exact same direction during prayer, looking forward together toward the coming of the sun god.
